"Be part of the BDRI while playing a part in the Conservation and Research of Bottlenose Dolphins and their Environment"  
LEARN ABOUT ...
Dolphin research courses, volunteering, internships, Master's & Bachelor's thesis, expeditions, researcher for a day and other programs related with bottlenose dolphins.
DISCOVER ...
The BDRI carry out year-round research programs in ecology, conservation and behaviour of bottlenose dolphins along the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, Mediterranean Sea.
CONTRIBUTE TO ...
Your support is vital to BDRI. Learn how you can support the BDRI's Research, bottlenose dolphin Conservation and Educational Programs.

STUDY DOLPHINS ...
BDRI concentrates its effort on the study of dolphins because they are predators at the top of their food chain, so their well-being provides an excellent indication of the health of the marine ecosystem.

ABOUT THE BDRI ...
The Bottlenose Dolphin Research Institute current focus is to promote better understanding of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) through education and research on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia Island.

TRAVEL TO ...
The BDRI's research projects are carried out along Sardinia Island (Italy), an area of outstanding natural beauty. Sardinia island has diverse land and seascapes and abundant marine wildlife.
